Similar letters ot' reterenee indie-.ite eorrespmidineparts in the tuo tigures.

To enable those skilled in the art to l'nlhT uiulerstaml and eonstrnet my invention l will proeeed to deserihe it.

A. represents the lJodXY olE a. ear. provitfled with my iinlu'ovement. which is the center of the ear leaving' a. pass geway d, at eaeh side as shown clearlyr in href.

B. represents a .seat supported h r' legs l, and heling;` about double the length ot the usual seats in order to aeeonnnodate four instead o't two passengers. The seat ll. may he upholstered in the usual wirY and at each` end of the seat a Vertieal rod is attaeheiil.y said rods extending` 'from the hot'toni to the top of the ear as shown plainlyY in Fie'. 2.

D, is the haek` oli' the. seat ll. this hack mayv he et usual eonstruetion and is 2 ttaehed to the rods C, (l. by arms o. e. whieh are piroted to the rods as shown at r?. The hack D. may be reversed or turned to laee in either direction preciselyv the sinne as the ordinar)y reversible haels. and to each rod (l. a eurved har e. is attaehed having' stops f. at eaeh end to support the arms.

Underneath the seat B. an uliiholstered slide E, is plaeed. This slide` is provided with legs g, and its ends when nmlerneath the seat.y rest on ways 71. attached to the inner sides of the lees 7), of the seat B.

F, represents an upholstert-d hoard or plane whieh corresponds in area to the seat B. To each end of the heard ll` armsl v'. are attaehed. said arms being' of the saine torni as those attached to the ends of the ordinar]7 ear seats. 'Io the upper part: of each arm z'. a projection in attached` and the rods C, pass through said projections whieh are allowed to slide freely on the rods. the under side of the hoard ll. :Folding rods or legs 1, are attached. and to the front and hack sides of the board F, fenders or guards plaeed at To i i/. are hinged or jointed as shown at uf. l so that said tenders or guards may he toldV ed underneath the hoard and seenred lliereto lo' a eatrh n. or lie raised and serured in a rertiral position le.' ratehes o. attarhed to eaeh side ol' the hoard l".

(i. is an upholstered hoard. nhieh |na lle eonstrneted preeiselv similar lo Ille hoard E9. yl`lie hoard t?. is prenided nilh end plates y. p. harinar guides o. atiarlied to itheir outer sides through nhieh the rods pass. ',l`lle hoard t?. is provided with tenders or guards r. whieh are arranged preriselyv similar to the Vtenders or lguards i'. ol! the hoard lf.

To the outer side ot' the llarh l l a roller s, is attaehed. said roller haring' one end olI a i curtain ll. attaehed lo it. To the top ola l the` ear and at the outer .side olE each rod lll. a roller is plaeerl. said rollers haring; one end oi eurtains u. attaehed. rthe opposite ends ot the eurtains u. are runner-ted la' a rod l'. and eaeh roller t. has a \\'ei n'ht r'. attaehei to it lij a eord fe. the 'uelgl'hts lie` inn' titled in rerti/al lioxes a" attarhed to the sides olithe ear. see Fie'. L. To the outer end ol the enrtain ll. eords fr. are at taehed and these eords are eonnerted to drums at one end ot the rollers. the err-rds ol the weights e, are attached to the .saine drums lult are wound upon them in reverse direetions.

Then the invention is used as a day seat.` the hoard F. has its lees 1, folded hen lath it., and also the fenders or guards l. the legs laiireseeured in a folded position lu' eatehes 7. and the vtenders or Aeuarils hy the eateh u. and said hoard rests on the,- seat B. and strietl)r speakingl 'Forms the seat.
